Hi,

Just after some info from anyone who is invloved or knows much about Storm the Stage comp.
I was wondering how the adjudicator's felt about accents? I'm trying to decide whether to keep an Aussie accent or do an American one (as it's an American monologue).

Thanks,
Ashleigh

Hi Everyone

Well the first heat of storm the stage has been held and it looks as though we will have another fantastic year of talent.

If I could remind all of the contestants please that the two categories are Musical Theatre and Drama. That means, that for the musical theatre, you are expected to create a character for the song. It should be a song where you can incorporate your acting ability and your singing. This is a musical theatre performance, not a singing competition per se. Obvioulsy you need to be able to sing, but you also need to create a character as well.

Also, the entry form does state that the monologues should be from published world theatre repetoire. It helps for everyone to be on a level playing field.

Have fun!

Kerri
